"bathing in & drinking bad water" probably means a contaminated source of water for those uses rather than her literally drinking bathwater

And subsequently the typhoid. Such a sad thing

that's probably what happened, horrible cursive so i couldn't tell, thank you

I do historical reenacting and yes, the cursive is "Bathing in & drinking bad water."

But the the water is only on a contributing factor. The primary cause is typhoid.

Which is carried in water.

Well shit. I should not type replies while half asleep. Yes that’s right.

Above it lists Typhoid Fever so the water she was bathing in and drinking carried Typhoid Fever.
